In our humble opinion the Repub licans have nominated fj?eirabifst if not their strongest man. . But men are not always voted for on the score of their ability ; there are many other considerations that arise to influence voters and carry or loee an election. We had all as well acknowledge in advance that Blaine is a strong man, a skillful manager,.and a trained tac tioian, and as such, make our prepara tions to meet and vanquish him. It is never good policy to underrate the strength or courage of an adversary. It throw8v?B off our guard and ren wh?n it is too late to remedy it. Let ns rather allow that Greek will meet Greek, and that we have a foeman worthy of oar steel. It ?B already being said by many that Blaine lie the easiest man of all the'batch to beat. That may Or may not be. It will be well for U3 if we find it so. Bntwe. had bet te* not calculate with too much cer Sainty -upon it. jj He will get no Dem ocrats.' j That is sure.

Lvideutiy Anxious to See Them. And to feed them and to pet them ! In the light of many chats we have hud lately, not only with gentlemen, but also with ladies, of almost all sections of our county-and of many l-tters and communications we have received-we have changed our mind in regard to the late Fruit Hill Reso lutions restricting the political can [.vasa to four or six set meetings. Tnese Resolutions passed easily ; but sinnt fs cl?ar'to our minds that our people, to the contrary notwithstand ing, are anxious to see the candidates early and often-to see them-to feed them-to pet them.

LONDON, June 7.-In^?eading ar tide discussing the results oT the Chicago Convention the Times this morning says : " Mr. Blaine's nomi nation will be received with general satisfaction. Not only has he been the most popular candidate from the outset", but he is^eyond all question the most conspicuous and respected politician in the ranks of the Repub lican p'rty, which bas done itself honor by the nomination of so well known and distinguished a man. ' If the Democrats could make up their mind to a dtfihite and reasonable free trade policy they wouid certainly se core more sympathy rn this Bide of Atlantic than has hitherto been accorded them. Meantime we must congratulate the Republicans on the choice of a candidate PO eminently suited as Mr. B;aine to reprepent and uphold the dignity of the United States."

A Sketch of the Vrtsidential Cl date's Career* James Gillespie Blaine, the Ki Hean candidate for President o United States, was born in Wasl ton Couu'y, Pennsylvanie, in '. and was graduated trom Waehii College at the age of 17. . graduating he taught school time in Pennsylvania and Kenti wrote for the press and studied In 1853 Mr. Blaine went to ft where he edited the Portland A liscr and Kennebec Journal. ] 185S to 1862 be was a member o State Legislature, serving for years aR Speaker of the House, most from the day that he asst charge of the Kennebec Joum< had great influence in the po and policy of Maine. At 25 3 of age he was a leading power ii councils of the Republican p and before he was 29 he was cl chairman of the State Executive ( mittee, a position which he has ever since. In 1862 Mr. Blaine was electi Congress and was re elected, 1 term to term, until 1870 whei waB appointed Senator to fill a vs cy. Mr. Blaine always commai the attention of the House, and three terms wss the Speaker. It been 6aid that no man since C time prended with 60 absolul knowledge of the mles of the He In the Senate he took a promi part in debate, and was recogn as a leader, but his career there cut short by his appointment as retary of Si ate, under Pree'dent field. As Secretary of SUte Mr. Bl was vigorous and bold, but far i dipcreet. The e is no knowing \ trouble would have ensued hai reranined in offic.i.

To judge f the fabulous prices paid for town at the recent sale, one must inev bly conclude that the people are thusiastically in earneet. In meantime the subject o? a free bri acrfoss the Saluda at that point, th by bringing a large portiou of E<: field near to their market, is be pressed and agitated with the Fi earnestness, which means success the undertaking. Mr. Smith, owner of the ferry, has already m it a free ferry, and offers to give ferry if a bridge can be built. ' fen y ?6 worth about $1,000. A c< mittee was before the County Ci missioners of this county last Ti day, asking aid from the county, similar committee visited the Cou; Commissioners 0! Eogeiield. Ab all the County Commissioners can is to recommend the Legislature pass an act, giving them power to j ropriate a certain sum out of surplus they may have in the tre nry, after paying the expenses of current years. It is now suppoi that they will have asuffkient arno ot surplus lands to aid right hai somely in both the building of I bridge at Chappell's and the one Bouknight's. We hope the Cour Commissioners of Edgtfield will lc favorably upon these tree bridge p jecto, for their construction will be very great benefit to a large porti of Edgefield county. The citizei s both sides of the river at Chappe will aid largely in the building of t bridge at that point-by privatest ?criptions. We wish the undertaki abundant success.

ItiurestJo? Aikeu News. AIKEN,S C, June6,1884 EDITORS ADVEBTISEE: Aiken hi e settled to her asnal summer du ll ru tr. Every one seems to be tabing a net, except the candidates and the farm- j era.. But, in town, trade is at a stag- j nation. The monied visitor has de parted, and now the little business done is to be squared up " when thT? crop is made." The exceptionally cool weather of the last few w??ks_? has benefited us io keeping back the Northerners ; but it has also kept back the cotton crop to our di tri ment. A poor rule that does .not work both ways ! Cotton looks bad^ ly, and many complain of bad stands Abundant rains are gibing us good gardene, making the corn grow, and supplying us with grass. Oats and wheat are being harvested. The yield in both ia short of full crops. Fruit so lar promises well for a good enp ply, aud our shippers are already re alizing profits. Choice fruit is ship ped directly North, while the inferi?-^ stock is sent to Charleston. The lal ter is the best market for ave/age or miscellaneous shipments. The pto duce dealers there assort the fruit, ship the best North and sell out the bil ance to retailers and hucksteis. One of our farmers makes a gocd thing of his asparagus, every eeaecn shipping North. He has gone into a new venture, the Niagara grape. A company furnishes the vines, he cul tivaos them, not being allowed to propagate from them, be sells the fruit and divides the profits. This holds good for five years when tie vines become his property. The grape originated in western New^ York, ia a white variety similar to the malaga and is to come in compe tition with the latter. Seme four hundred odd vines are planted to the acre, aud in full bearing will furnish from fifty to sixty pounds of froir. Last season in its native region it brought twenty-five cents a poutd, while other grapes sold from ten to fifteen cents. There's money, but a!eo a monopoly, in it, as one grower has a cutain amount of territory around him into which no rival producer can plant a vineyard. The melon crop bids fair to be. a bountiful one. I ti will be a bleesing to the aforetaid candidates, as they will "set 'em up" for the crowd at the barbecues' after " laying by" time. One of the fra ternity told me recently that his aim wa*getting to be of Sullivanic devel opment and his palm& corny from the constant diurnal "shaking" with the dear people. This reminds me of the band-shaking last Court here of four ex sheriffs of your County, Moeers. Jones, Spires, Boles and Gaston, who met on our streets. Mrs. Chapin, tha temperance advo cate for South Carolina of the W. C. T. G., was here la6t week and formed" a Union, after an interesting and earnest address to a full audience at the Baptist Church.1 The Union-.^?rr find this a tough town to deal with, yet the whiskey sellers are uneasy. One affected tb 'laugh away all fear, when another who had inov?d in from diy town said, "Oh, my friend,just t-t those women started here, and we'll have to move 8gain." The col ored people have a large tempera: ce society here and a few weeks 8go kid the corner-stone of a new hail socn to be built. Amorg other buildiufS going up in the town are three Isrge biick stores, the property of the Hon. Ci. W. Croit. These will add greatly to the storage and looks of our bu>i nesa street. A building and loan association, inaugurated a (bert time tince is in successful operation, and much beni fit to individuals and the town will ac crue from its working.
